ATTN THIS WEEKEND: YOU ARE LIKE THE OPPOSITE OF THE CRYING GAME

(UPDATED: Frightened Rabbit cancels, Hearts of Animals now on bill. See Below.) Why? Because we're going to have a non-gender confusing interaction with a hairstylist? NO, BECAUSE WE AINT CRYING NO MORE BECAUSE THE SCATTED PAGES ARE BACK! CAN SOMEONE PLEASE FIND US A VIDEO OF SHAQ DOING SOME SORT OF RIDICULOUS DANCE, CAUSE ITS HOW WE FEEL RIGHT NOW?



THANK YOU.

Yep, you heard it right the Good People we all know as the Scattered Pages are back from their previously announced hiatus and are taking the stage this Friday night! YUSSS. So let's get to that and ALL the weekend's action. STOKED.

FRIDAY
Scattered Pages, Literary Greats @ The Continental Club

YUSS. A dangerously pleasing band near and dear shares one the better sounding stages in town with an up an comer who's alt-country chops are bonafied like Forrest Whittaker. Get into it, Americant.

The French Kicks, Frightened Rabbit Hearts of Animals and The Young Mammals @ Walter's

Watch the Mammals eat rabbits and the French for dinner. JKs. But hot off the shoot of their newest video and midway through recording their next release, the Young Mammals well set one hell of a bar for their touring acts to live up to. Also, odds are that Roy Mata and/or Emily Driskill will be slinging drank at this show. Into it. UPDATE: The Frightened Rabbits had to cancel. Hearts of Animals have stepped up and are now on the bill. Party call me.

The Watermarks, Slivered, Flowers to Hide @ Rudyard's

See our review of Flowers to Hide's EP in the post before this. Its in there somewhere. Oh yeah, there it is - HIGH PRAISE. Plus, apparently one of the guys from Echo and the Bunnymen is a is all cheers mate about locals The Watermarks.

Arthur Yoria @ Fox Sports Grill Galleria

YOU KNOW YOU ARE TEMPTED. They have good sliders, btw.

SATURDAY

The Guilty Hearts, Born Liars and the Welfare Mothers @ Rudyards

We were gonna make a joke about how there is a law that Born Liars, Welfare Mothers and The Monocles are part of a triumberant where atleast two of them are required to play a show if one does, but Bryan from the Welfare Mothers beat us to the punch.

Ladytron, Datarock @ The Meridian

We wonder, did Ladytron have to sell 50 tickets in advance to get this show?

Saturday Secret Show @ The Shady Tavern

As always, free, secret, and starting around two. Maybe Mr Secret will post some hints about the bands in the comments. WE SAID, MAYBE MR SECRET WILL POST SOME HINTS IN THE COMMENTS.

SUNDAY

Carrots, Stove Blow and The Wiggins @ The Mink

Carrots are getting good press, good mentions and good props. It includes members of one of our Austin favorites, Finally Punk but has its roots in 60s girl pop rather than, well, punk. Should be killer and cooler than The Wiggins sunglasses.
